The Japanese culinary anime series, "Shokugeki no Soma: San no Sara (Food Wars! The Third Plate)" premieres this week, and Crunchyroll has released a new promotional video featuring the third season's opening theme.
Yukihira Soma has been polishing the cooking skills he has gradually improved through various culinary battles. He has been doing this while also helping at his family's diner. Life is simple, and Soma is following a smooth routine until one day, he gets a chance to enter the prestigious cooking school known as the Totsuki Teahouse Culinary Academy.
In here, Soma will be meeting various other chefs, who are just as determined as him to achieve culinary excellence. Meeting these people has helped Soma grow both as a person and as a cook able to face any challenge with a confident and determined spirit.
